After the events of this week, you may be left thinking that the world is a cruel and evil place, but I am still an optimistic kind of guy. Every time I travel somewhere on this planet, I am constantly reminded of the care, compassion, and hospitality of 99% of the people in the world.

We, the 99%, will never let the 1% break our will, our happiness, and our love for life and travel. We will never live in fear, and we will continue to experience the beauty of the world and compassionate people that inhabit it.

This week, I have included 6 images from Beirut, Baghdad, and Paris in honor of the victims of the recent horrific acts. There are more cities and countries in the world suffering too. To honor them, let us keep exploring, keep drinking local wines, keep eating the incredible local food, and keep supporting tourism and telling the inspiring stories of 99% of the world.

If you submit a photo that you think would make a great addition to either of our Top 10s, be sure to add the tag #ResourceTravel500px!
